34 weeks


6 weeks left until my due date....

but I'm thinking Carter will be here well before that.

He's already dropped and I've been having contractions that are starting to get more painful.

The doctor's been keeping a close check on things and says that Carter was measuring

to be about 5 lbs as of 2 weeks ago.

This will definitely be a good thing if he comes early.

If he's on time or late he's going to be big!

Let's think positive!

Oliver was born at 38 weeks and weighed 7 lbs 3 ounces.

I'm hoping Carter is around the same size. We'll see...

I already have my hospital bag (somewhat) packed just to be safe...

His drawers and clothes (somewhat) organized for his arrival...

and have yet to put his bed and carseat together.

But really I'm just trying to stay on top of laundry and household duties!

Not to mention this extra above and beyond stuff...

(like finishing their room or hmm maybe the guest room that their Grandma Baker will be staying in!)

We'll see where we're at in a couple of weeks!

Oliver's list of tricks at 12 months


At 12 months Oliver is......
           a crazy crawler...
           standing on his own (and even pulls some dance moves while he's at it)...
           walking around objects but doesn't really take any steps by himself yet...
           eating anything and everything put into his mouth....
           loving anything musical (preferably the guitar or musical drums he just got)...

He loves:
           his Papa...
           FOOD...
           animals...
           visiting Dad at work for lunch......
           FOOD....
           laying in his crib.....
           owls......
           going on walks in his wagon...
           playing toys at home with Mom and Dad...
          
Words he says...
           "No no no!"
           "Dog"
           "Mama" & "Dada" of course!
           "Nana"
           "Num nums" (for food)
           "Car"
            "Bye bye"
            "Night night"
            "All done!" (with his cute little hands in the air)
             "Hoo hoo!" (when you ask him what the owl says)
              and some other words that I can't think of right now....

He's tried to say "Tyler" and "Beth" and "bugs" and "thank you" but has only successfully said half of the word..... he's pretty stinkin cute. I enjoy watching him learn and grow and change... he's 1 now! Growing up too fast....

I love that boy....

this little cuteness was born
and my heart plumped up with love 


one year later he's just as cute
and i love him 10,000 times more
which I didn't think was possible
